Once I Was
By Alix Q.
Once I was foolish
Once I was unbalanced
Once I was petrified by the things around me
Now I am a mature middle schooler
Once I gorged myself with repulsive baby food
Once I was covered with food that had been spilled
Once I was a sloppy, chubby toddler
Now I am neat and organized
Once I was a clumsy ballerina
Once I was always tumbling like a tumbleweed in a desert storm
Once I was timid and shy
Now I am beautiful and confident
Once I was a messy preschooler
Once I was a sleepy kindergartener
Once I was a bossy first grader
Now I am and honor student at Rocky Heights
